An award-winning coach, writer and speaker, Lajeunesse brings Reigniting the Women’s Spirit to the U.S. for the first time at this Lotus Network event.

Rush Rare Metals Advances Two Key Projects: Uranium in Wyoming and Niobium in Quebec

Rush Rare Metals Corp

Rush Rare Metals CEO Peter Smith joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news about the mineral exploration company's focus on its Boxi Property in Quebec and the Copper Mountain Project in Wyoming. The company recently announced the staking of the Knob claims in Wyoming, comprising 52 mineral claims totaling 780 acres. According to Smith, these claims are now part of the Copper Mountain Project, subject to an option/earn-in agreement between Rush and Myriad Uranium. Under the agreement, Myriad can earn a 50% interest in the project by spending $1.5 million exploring Copper Mountain and increase its interest to 75% by spending a total of $5.5 million. As Myriad meets certain progress thresholds, Rush will receive Myriad shares and other incentives. Conversely, the Boxy property in Quebec, initially acquired for its uranium potential, has shifted focus towards its exceptional niobium prospects. Niobium, a lesser-known element, is highly valued for its application in enhancing steel's strength and resistance, making it crucial for major infrastructural projects and as a component in superconductors and magnets. Recent exploration has revealed a mineralized dike with high-grade niobium samples, indicating a promising potential compared to other niobium mining operations. For the upcoming year, Rush Rare Metals plans to extend exploration efforts at the Boxy property, incorporating more stripping, channel sampling, and drilling to gain a comprehensive understanding of the niobium deposit's extent and quality. The objective is to ascertain the deposit's economic viability and prepare for future development. This exploration phase is eagerly anticipated by the company, given the substantial market opportunity mirrored in the success of similar niobium discoveries, highlighting the potential for significant value creation.

CleanTech Lithium on track with Laguna Verde project as it updates contract application

CleanTech Lithium PLC

CleanTech Lithium PLC CEO Aldo Boitano tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion the company has updated its applications for Special Lithium Operating Contracts for its Laguna Verde and Francisco projects in Chile. This action followed an announcement by the Chilean government regarding the process and criteria for awarding lithium extraction rights to private entities. This necessitated adjustments to the current rules, prompting CleanTech Lithium to resubmit applications for the projects. Boitano highlighted a productive meeting with Chile's mining ministry, noting the company's compliance with the necessary criteria, including community engagement and detailed project planning. Despite the resubmission, Boitano assured that the project timeline remains unaffected, with indigenous consultations and contract details being the next steps. He outlined key milestones for investors in 2024, including government acknowledgment of interest in April and May, potential indigenous consultations in June, and the hopeful acceleration of the awarding process.

Thor Explorations increases its position around Douta project in Senegal with licence acquisitions

Thor Explorations Ltd

Thor Explorations Ltd (TSX-V:THX, AIM:THX, OTC:THXPF) president and CEO Segun Lawson tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion the company has increased its position in southeast Senegal through the acquisition of interests in two licences. This move capitalises on the company's progress in advancing the grassroots Douta gold project to over 1.7 million ounces of gold in global resources, despite a delayed preliminary feasibility study due to extensive processing flow sheet work. Lawson said the licence acquisitions, especially the one adjacent to Thor's existing resources, provide a low-cost entry for significant exploration upside. The terms of the main agreement for the Douta West licence include a total consideration of $120,000, granting the original licence holder a free carry until the completion of a PFS, after which they can choose to fund or dilute. The Senegalese government retains a 10% free carry, leaving Thor with an 80% interest. Simultaneously, Thor is advancing towards the preliminary feasibility study for Douta and initiating exploration activities on the new licences, expecting drill results throughout the current quarter. This includes extending drilling programmes and analysing soil and termite samples to potentially expand the total resource base. In Nigeria, exploration efforts continue at the Segilola mine to extend the life of mine, alongside reaffirming production guidance for the year. Lawson said Thor is focused on deleveraging, strengthening its balance sheet, and achieving a strong free cash flow position. This year's strategic emphasis is on exploring satellite deposits and deeper drilling beneath the Segilola pit, with significant news flow anticipated across its Senegalese and Nigerian projects in the upcoming quarter.

What's next for Bitcoin? ETC Group CEO breaks down ETFs & market trends

HANetf Holdings Limited

ETC Group CEO Tim Bevan discusses the recent volatility in Bitcoin prices, attributing it to macroeconomic factors and specific market events. In an interview with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion, Bevan noted the unexpected strength in the US economy indicated by recent jobs data, which has led to revised expectations for interest rate cuts, impacting risk assets like Bitcoin. The movement of $2 billion worth of confiscated Bitcoin related to the Silk Road case onto a Coinbase account by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) has also contributed to the market's instability. Despite these short-term drivers, Bevan views the fluctuations as part of Bitcoin's usual trading range. Regarding the likelihood of an Ethereum ETF in the US, Bevan indicated a negative shift, citing the SEC's increased efforts to classify Ethereum as a security. This classification, driven by interactions with the Ethereum Foundation and the transition to proof of stake, marks a significant regulatory change and dampens the immediate prospects for an Ethereum ETF. Nonetheless, Bevan remains hopeful for developments later in the year. Bevan also commented on the London Stock Exchange's (LSE) decision to launch a segment for crypto ETPs, viewing it as a positive step for market legitimization. However, he critiqued the exclusion of retail investors from this segment, suggesting it could limit market liquidity and appeal. Lastly, Bevan discussed the upcoming Bitcoin halving event, a reduction in the reward for mining Bitcoin, anticipated around 20 April. He stressed that while the halving itself may not instantly affect prices, its long-term impact on supply could be significant.

WhiteRock Lithium Adds 20 Pegmatite Exposures At Its 100% Owned Sacred Banana, High Grade Lithium Project, Quebec

WhiteRock Lithium Corp.

Highlights Twenty additional pegmatite and pegmatitic exposures have been identified from geological compilation on the Sacred Banana and Yoshi claims;   The 20 new pegmatite exposures and the geological province-scale fault are highly prospective and will be explored in the summer of 2024     Vancouver, British Columbia –  TheNewswire - April 3, 2024: WhiteRock Lithium Corp., (“WhiteRock” or the “Company”) through its continuing process of planning various aspects of its 2024 exploration programme has identified, from Quebec government databases, an additional 20 pegmatite and pegmatitic exposures on its 100% owned Sacred Banana and Yoshi claims (see Figure 1). In addition to the diamond drilling which has been proposed for the Spodumene Mountain discovery, the Company will be continuing with reconnaissance geology. The reconnaissance programme will focus on the eastern extension of the Sacred Banana claims where the Vaujours fault marks the boundary between rocks of the La Grande Subprovince and those of the Ashuanipi Subprovince (Labbe, 2001) 1.   The presence of the regional scale Vaujours fault represents an important regional structure related with the Spodumene Mountain. The southwest-northeast trending Vaujours fault has been identified by a topographic high as well as by its prominent low magnetic susceptibility.   A 1998/99 Quebec government geological survey identified 20 pegmatites and pegmatitic exposures within the Sacred Banana and Yoshi claim blocks. Thirteen exposures occur in close proximity to the Vaujours fault (Figure 1). WhiteRock Lithium personnel interpret that nine of the pegmatite exposures along the eastern extension of the Sacred Banana are high priority. Some of the pegmatites that were identified in 1998 consisted of outcrops that covered more than 900 square metres   Figure 1 – Additional pegmatites and pegmatitic exposures (blue circles) identified from geological compilation  on the Sacred Banana and Yoshi claims.

GLOBAL ENERGY METALS GRANTED URANIUM ROYALTY ON SASKATCHEWAN-BASED PROJECTS AND SHARES IN TERRA BALCANICA; TERMINATES AGREEMENT WITH FULCRUM METALS

Global Energy Metals Corporation

Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / April 3, 2024 / Global Energy Metals Corporation TSXV:GEMC | OTCQB:GBLEF | FSE:5GE1 (“Global Energy Metals”, the “Company” and/or “GEMC”), a multi-jurisdictional, multi-commodity critical mineral exploration, development and project generating company focused on growth-oriented projects supporting the global transition to clean energy announces that, further to the Company's news release dated January 30, 2024, the Company has mutually agreed with Fulcrum Metals Plc. ("Fulcrum") to terminate the royalty purchase and option agreement entered into in January 2024 pursuant to which Global agreed to acquire an immediate 0.5% royalty on net smelter returns (the “NSR”) in Fulcrum’s Charlot-Neely, Fontaine Lake, Snowbird and South Pendleton uranium projects (collectively the “Projects”) located in Saskatchewan, Canada.  GEMC will also terminate the option to acquire a 19.9% interest in the Projects. The Company is pleased to announce that it, in collaboration with Fulcrum, was instrumental in attracting a new strategic partner and as a result the entering of an agreement between Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra”) and Fulcrum, whereby Terra intends to acquire 100% interest in the Fulcrum uranium projects through an Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”). Details of this Option Agreement can be found in announcements made by both Terra and Fulcrum. As consideration for terminating the existing prior agreement between Fulcrum and Global Energy, Global Energy will be compensated with the equivalent of C$150,000 in shares in Terra on closing of the Option Agreement and granted a 0.5% NSR over the Saskatchewan based project portfolio collectively encompassing 596.71 km 2 of highly prospective ground for a uranium discovery. Highlights: Exposure to uranium, a new commodity to Global Energy’s existing project, equity and royalty portfolio;   Strategic equity position in Terra Balcanica, a publicly listed multi-commodity company with a new focus on uranium exploration in the Athabasca Basin (“Basin”);   Historical work at the Projects has demonstrated evidence of uranium mineralization along favourable structural trends with prospective target horizons based on electromagnetic conductors;   Proximal to northern and southeastern edges of the Basin in northern Saskatchewan, a premium mining district and leading global source of high-grade uranium;   Charlot-Neely is located within the emerging Uranium City district on the northwestern margin of the Basin;   Exploration expenditures by Terra totalling $3,250,000 prior to the fourth anniversary of the Option Agreement will aim to determine the resource potential for the Projects.   Mitchell Smith, CEO & Director comments: “ We are excited to have attracted such a strong operational partner in Terra Balcanica to apply their technical and jurisdictional expertise to advance these North American uranium projects at such a pivotal time in this new nuclear era. Through this arrangement, we’re excited to maintain exposure to these high-quality uranium assets through both the equity position in Terra and the NSR royalty over the portfolio. This will bolster Global Energy’s existing project, royalty and equity portfolio to now include uranium and further demonstrates the Company’s ability to monetize assets for the benefit of shareholders.” Click Image To View Full Size   Figure 1. Regional map of northern Saskatchewan, Canada which is one of the world's leading sources of high-grade uranium and supplies about 20% of the world's uranium. The yellow symbols illustrate locations of the four optioned exploration properties totalling 596 km 2 in the context of the world-famous Athabasca Basin.   Portfolio Overview and Discovery Opportunity The project portfolio totals 596.71km 2 targeting major NE-SW trending structures along strike from historic uranium mines and projects that have attracted significant investment. Discoveries such as the Arrow discovery (4.3m tonnes at 0.83% U308 https://www.nexgenenergy.ca/exploration/overview/) and Triple R discovery (2.7m tonnes at 1.94% U308 https://fissionuranium.com/projects/triple-r-deposit/project-overview/) have proved the concept of exploring along structure outside of the Athabasca basin. This potential has been confirmed through initial exploration and evaluation by Fulcrum in 2023.  A significant number of high-grade uranium showings occur within the Projects in addition to historical small-scale uranium mining. Future exploration through the undertaking of a modern systematic geologic evaluation to determine the resource potential will be a top-priority for Terra.   Terra Balcanica Resources Terra Balcanica is a polymetallic exploration company that up until the agreement with Fulcrum has been targeting large-scale mineral systems in the Balkans of southeastern Europe. The Company has 90% interest in the Viogor-Zanik Project in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 100% of the Kaludra and Ceovishte mineral exploration licences in southern Serbia. The Company emphasizes responsible engagement with local communities and stakeholders. It is committed to proactively implementing Good International Industry Practice (GIIP) and sustainable health, safety, and environmental management.   Fulcrum Metals Plc Fulcrum Metals PLC (LON: FMET) is an AIM quoted exploration company which finances and manages exploration projects focused on Canada, widely recognised as a top mining jurisdiction.   Fulcrum currently holds a beneficial 100% interest in highly prospective gold and base metals projects in Ontario and uranium projects in Saskatchewan.   Fulcrum’s strategy is to focus on discovery and commercialisation of its Projects through targeted exploration programmes. The primary focus is to make an economic discovery on the flagship Schreiber-Hemlo Properties and to establish the prospectivity of its wider Ontario and Saskatchewan portfolio with a view to securing potential joint venture and/or acquisition interest.    While highly prospective, Fulcrum’s mining assets are in the exploration phase, so Fulcrum stands to be able to add significantly to the inherent value through exploration success. Fulcrum will continually review opportunities with potential and with a view to increasing shareholder value. It is the Board’s intention to deliver medium and long-term growth and to establish the Group as a significant exploration company.   Qualified Person Mr. Paul Sarjeant, P.
